Most obese patients suffer from damage on their knees or hips because of the heavy weight that these areas are carrying every day. Due to this case, overweight people need to have their knees or hips replaced from making further damage to other bone areas.

However, replacement is not always the solution to their problems. Medical staffs are highly concerned about the patients after the replacement surgery, if they choose to remain to be in a heavy state, because the replacements might not do its purpose well.
